Carpetbaggers chords by Jenny Lewis

From her new album, Acid Tongue, and featuring Elvis Costello. I did my best, cheers.

G             C    D
They come to town when the war is over
G         C      D
Dirty boots in the middle of the night
G         C       D
Trolling the bars, hitting on the soldiers
G        D    G
Boys give it up without a fight
G     G      C   D
They say, "Hey, boy, how about your place?
G            C    D
I know you really want to take me home"
G            C   D
Drop the bags off on the bedroom floor
G             D  G
They make love with the lights on, saying

C          G
"I'm a carpetbagger, baby
C         G
I'm coming to your town
C
I'm going to treat you kind (woo-hoo)
G
I'm going to rob you blind (woo-hoo)
D
I'll smile all the time
   G  C D
Whoa, yeah
   G  C D
Whoa, yeah
   G  C D
Whoa, yeah

G            C     D
Sally could have had any one of the boys
    G               C     D
But she couldn't love no one she could not control
G         C    D
Friend of mine and her got married
G             D    G
I don't hear too much from them anymore
G           C      D
Last I heard, he had a rope around his neck
G          C    D
Dragging around the grocery store
G           C        D
Carrying her bags and pushing down the aisles
       G           D    G
Saying, "I ain't got no home in this world anymore"


C          G
"I'm a carpetbagger, baby
C         G
I'm coming to your town
C
I'm going to treat you kind (woo-hoo)
G
I'm going to rob you blind (woo-hoo)

G             C     D
They come to town when the party's over
G           C      D
Books been written and truths been tried
G             C      D
They'll take it all if the door's left open
G             D     G
Steal the nose right from under your eyes


C          G
Singing, "I'm a carpetbagger, baby
C         G
I'm coming to your town
C
I'm going to treat you kind (woo-hoo)

I'm going to rob you blind (woo-hoo)

   G  C D

   G  C D
Whoa, yeah
   G  C D
Whoa, yeah
